Abstract

Small metal particles (Mg in THF and In in acetone) have been prepared by the matrix isolation method, the gas flow-solution trap method, and the gas flow-cold trap method and the size distribution of the particles has been determined by electron microscopy.

ChemInform Abstract

Small metal particles (Mg in THF and In in acetone) have been prepared by the matrix isolation method, the gas flow-solution trap method, and the gas flow-cold trap method and the size distribution of the particles has been determined by electron microscopy. The smallest Mg particles of about 2 nm diameter are obtained by the matrix isolation method in He, and the largest particles (100 nm diameter) are the products of the conventional gas evaporation method in Ar. Particles with intermediate diameter can be obtained by varying the pressure and the kind of gas used.
